London, Part One

Tag! It seems as if I have temporarily (I repeat, TEMPORARILY!) lost my camera-computer-connector chord, so I am going to have to tell about and show pictures from my trip to London in a 3 or 4 part series. Hopefully by the time I have shared all the good pictures my travel buddies took, I will have found my chord and be able to share my own pictures :-)

So the picture featured above (wow. corny voice.) is me. Sitting on a HUGE statue. In Trafalgar Square. There is this giant tower thing in the middle, which you can see the base of in the background, and then these four identical lions positioned around it. At first I saw them from a distance and planned on climbing on their backs for a perfect picture pose, but it turns out that the back was just as tall as I am. That sort of put the caput on that plan, but this pose is a nice alternative :-)

There was an entire monument dedicated to the animals that have served in British wars. If you look close, you can kind of make out the words. I couldn't resist a picture ;-)

In Hyde Park (where the famous Peter Pan statue is!) there were TONS of birds gathering around the side of the river. We didn't have anything to feed them, but I was able to trick them into coming close. It was incredible how not-shy they were...a couple friends even touched them.

I was SUPER excited because we were sitting in Dominoe's Pizza, awaiting the arrival of our first real, thick-crusted, normal-sauced, extra-cheese pizza in almost 10 weeks!

Here I am with my friend Aymee from Canada standing in a real live authentic red British phone booth! It was kind of weird though because these things are ALL OVER the city, but I never once saw a person actually using one...hmm...perhaps they are more novelty-type items nowadays...

Sadly, all for now...but I will seach for more pictures on different cameras AND my own cable!

Tschüs!
